Before first use
Before using the appliance for the first time,
as well as if it has not been used for a
lengthy period, you should allow several
cups of water to run through the system
without using espresso coffee meal, in order
to rinse out the system.
Place one of the two filter sieves in the filter
carrier and push the sieve holder back.
■ Locate the filter carrier on the left at the
mark on the housing of the brewing head
and turn it tightly to the right (5).

“on off“ key (6).
The operating indicator lamp will glow red
and the heating indicator lamp will glow
yellow.
■ Press the espresso key , whereby the
pump will be switched on (7).
The green control lamp will then glow.
If the heating system is empty, such as upon
first use, the system will first fill with water,
acoompanied by an audible pumping noise,
before water runs out of the filter carrier.
As soon as water runs out, press the
espresso key , whereupon the green
indicator lamp will cease to glow, and allow
the appliance to heat up.
A little water may run out of the brewing
head during the heating phase.
■ When the yellow heating control lamp
ceases to glow, press the espresso key
again (8).
Allow 2-3 cups of water to run through the
system. To empty the receptacle, interrupt the
operation by pressing the espresso key .
To clean through the steam pipe, place a
receptacle beneath it, turn the valve knob to
the position and press the espresso key
. Then allow 1-2 cups to run through.
Finally press the espresso key once
again, return the valve knob to the
position and empty the receptacle.
Filling the heating
system with water
Before working with the appliance, make
sure that the heating system is filled with
water by pressing the espresso key ,
whereby water should run out of the
brewing head.
If the heating system should become empty
whilst generating steam, which then ceases
to issue form the steam pipe, then the
heating system must be refilled.
Place a receptacle under the brewing head,
set the valve knob to and press the
espresso key .
As soon as water runs out of the brewing
head, press the espresso key again. Then
continue with steam generation by turning
the valve knob to the position again.
